A system and a method for tracking a location of a private wireless
network subscriber can precisely track and find out a location of a
subscriber even within a service zone of a base station and can realize
this precise tracking in a simple fashion. In a private wireless network
having a plurality of repeaters dispersedly installed in sector zones of
a private Base Transceiver Station (pBTS), the subscriber location
tracking system of the present invention includes a private Base Station
Controller (pBSC) connected to the pBTS and a Local Area Network (LAN)
and having a Visitor Location Register (VLR), a server connected to the
LAN, and at least one client connected to the LAN. The pBSC stores
location information in the VLR when a mobile station executes location
registration, and confirms a location and state of a mobile station by
dummy paging and updates its location information stored in the VLR when
the relevant mobile station keeps up an idle state during a certain
period. The server inquires about the location information stored in the
VLR and transmits it to the client. The client receives location
information from the server and provides a user with a location and state
of a mobile station according to the received location information.
